Texas snow surprises kids; Dad stayed up all night making winter wonderland

January 6, 2014 (BAYTOWN, TX)

Garrett Lenderman, of Baytown, Texas, used a snow blowing machine to create at least a foot of snow in his front yard for his three little girls. He said he wanted his daughters to wake up to snow.

"When they walk out the door in the morning and see a foot of snow at their front door, that's not nothing like they expected and it's exciting," said Lenderman.

Lenderman plan was to stay up all night to make sure kids in the neighborhood don't dive into the snow before his daughters. But after his girls play in it, he says he'll open up his suburban Houston yard to all the neighborhood kids.
